White House Solar Installation Reinforces the Importance of a Renewable Energy Future

WWF renewable energy expert Keya Chatterjee issued the following statement in response to today’s news that solar panels are being installed on the White House:

“Like thousands of typical American families embracing solar energy, the President sees just how bright a renewable energy future can be. With low-cost solar now more affordable than ever, we hope more Americans follow his lead and demand clean, renewable energy.

“While 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue may be the most recognizable address in America installing solar, it’s hardly alone. By joining the more than 80,000 US homes that installed solar last year, the White House is reinforcing the notion that renewable energy is not only the wave of the future – it’s the wave of now.”
